My brother is after a road bike, that catch is it needs to be pretty big (60cm+ frame) as he's 6'4". Would normally look 2nd hand but there doesnt seem to be much knocking about.

What would you recommend for a budget of between £600 - 800?

Havent seen any stand out bargains in the sales stuff Ive seen. For the budget I was hoping for full Shimano 105 running gear and a decent alu frame & carbon forks.

Where are you based. Might have something SH to suit. Aksiums, Ultegra crank, mechs and cassette, Zipp carbon bars, controltech stem and 105 spd sl's. Looking for around £500 but have a few extra's i.e. Polar HRM and Shimano shoes to sweeten the deal if needed.

Can downgrade wheels, bars and stem to original if required. Shifters are 9sp Tiagra. All in very good condition. Selling due to back injury in RTA over a year ago making it too painful to ride for more than half an hour.
